Josh POV
The phone rings as Colleen visits with her family in the living room. I see the caller ID and its Colleens doctor. I close my eyes briefly and see Kory stand in front of me. He knows who it is. He grabs my hand as I answer it. "Joshua" the doctor says. "Yes, hello. How are you?" I ask trying to make small talk. "I am fantastic Josh. The results came back and Colleen has progressed significantly to the point the tumor has shrunk and we can do day surgery to remove it. You should be able to try for another baby in about three months" she says happily. I start to cry and nod at the same time. "Thank you so much" I stutter. "Josh have her make an appointment for next week to get the day surgery. I want her on the mend" she says. "I will" I say as I hang up after saying goodbye. I see Kory look behind me over my shoulder and I turn to see Colleen. She is wearing a pink bandana around her head and has matching lipstick. "You are good baby. Just a day surgery and we are all done" I say. "We can start to try in three months for our family" I add. She has tears well up in her eyes. She hugs me so tight as I squeeze her. She is sobbing. "We will have our baby" I add. She nods as the rest of her family hear the commotion and come into the kitchen to meet us. "Everything looks good" I exclaim to them all and they all hug around us. We are laughing and crying all at the same time. I have never been so relieved in all my life.
Colleen comes out of surgery the next week in flying colors. The doctors found no sign of the cancer spreading and we just need to let her rest and recover physically from all the medical issues she has had to deal with. I bring her home and she wants pizza. I invite Heather,Kory,Teeny and Rebecca over to have a pizza party in our bedroom. She lights up when she sees everyone and I think everyone needed to see her happy. At the end of the night she is sleeping so soundly in our giant King bed. I crawl in and rub her belly gently as he eyes flutter open. "Ok sweetheart?" I ask kissing her lips. She smiles and nods. I run my hand along her head. "Hair is coming back babe" I smile. "I miss ponytails" she says pulling me closer. She closes her eyes and nuzzles into my shoulder. I kiss the top of her head and listen to her breathing against me. So happy.
